loving the drive out from the city in carriages and
other vehicles.

one, being the repairing of the board walk along
the road.

Accident on the Maryland Central
The freight train on the Maryland Central road
met with an accident at Lock Raven on Monday
afternoon last. 1t went off on the siding at that
place to allow the o'clock passenger train from
Baltimore to pass, and as it was pulling out on
the main track to proceed the fange of one of the
oar wheels struck the switch frog and jumped
from the rail- throwing the car over nearly on its
side. 1t was loaded with fifteen tons of wheat
and lot of potatoes and it was necessary to take
out the whole load before it could be righted and
gotten back on the track again. The damage was
only slight, but the late passenger trains were
DELAYED for several hours.

quarry, on the Falls road, last Saturday, and the
shock shook the houses for considerable distance

The County Agricultural Society,"
managers of this Society, at their last meeting,
decided to renew the attempt-several times made
without successful rent the Timonium track and
ftSslh liaMeaIin1 hhaan?; siRr eGthnyaS raa eheSs
will be found elsewhere in the advertising columns
of The UNION. The convenience of the situation
to Baltimore, where many horses continu-
ally being trained; the number of others constant
ly in hand in the surrounding country, and the
accommodations which these grounds afford, ought
to make them eagerly sought by some enterprising
man who has the confidence of horse owners. 1t
is understood that the want of suitable dwelling
on the grounds has nterfered heretofore with their
renting, and this deficiency ought to be supplied,
if possible.
1t is announced that the same premiums will be
awarded this year as last on flowers, vegetables
and fruits, including those raised by girls and
boys under Is years of age, and notice is given
that preparations may be made in time for their
production.
Messrs. Edward S. Peerce, Richard H. Woollen
and E. Cuttings Merryman have been made the
track committee VIM. B. Cockey, marshal, and
John E. Swift, lieutenant marshal, for the current
year.

A Hint to Supervisors.-Ane exchange very
truthfuy says: about this time of year the SUI
pervisors of the several districts in the county
getting ready to sink many thousands of dollars
on the dirt roads. Every ten or twelve years fully
q quarter of q million dollars are wasted for no
other reason than because it is the "good old way"
If there is one thing that does not improve it is
our roads. Every dollar put on them under the
present method is dollar wasted and a papabe
fraud on the Taxpayers of the county. There are
two seasons in the year when our dirt roads are
an abomination. One season is just now, at the
close of hard winter, when the frost thaws itself
out of the way; and the other, just after the SUI
pervisors have finished, at immense cost, the al
most criminal waste of public funds by tearing up
the roads to make them muddy at the first rain.
Supervisors should 60 over and carefully examine
all the roads in their districts, to see what is alb
solutely necessary in the line of repairs, and de-
eide just how much they can pike with the money
they have in hand. Do this and in ten years
from now over one-half of the roads in the county
will be good, substantial ones, at no greater cost
than now, for which the taxpayer gets nothing
but annoyance, loss and waste for his money"

Hebbville, I'D District.-The White Grounds
literary association was again complimented by o

Mr.. Rhineholts organ medleys were given in the
most artistic manner, the best perhaps with which
the society has yet been favored. He is a master
with few equals in this art The solos, duets and
choruses were we'll rendered and highly apprecia-
ted. The critics report and Rotations very
interesting. The following officers, elected the
week previous, were installed by Squire Fishpaw
Emory Zimmerman, president; W. Hemp, vice
president; j. Fishpaw, recording secretary ).
Smith, financial secretary J. Upton, treasurer;
R. M. G. Tranor, editor; Misses Nettie Upton,
Clara Timanus and Blanche Zimmerman, musical
directors. The old board of curstors elected
very serious accident happened after the So
cety had adjourned. Mr.. Hemp, living on Mr.
Scheler's property, brought his family and geusts
stopping with him to the association in large
one horse spring wagon. Preparatory to return
ing home the ladies began to get in. Mrs. Hemp
had resumed her seat and one Of the ladies had
been assisted to the top of the front wheel, when
the horse became unmanageable and threw the
lady on the wheel backwards, but who was fortu-
natey caught by gentleman and saved. The
horse again reared, throwing Miss Nettie Hemp
headforemost from the wagon. In her descent she
struck the horse, which hurled her backward into
the front wheel, where her limbs became fasten-
ed as to be impossible to extricate or even to aid
her. While Miss Nettie was in this critical situa-
ton the horse made lunge forward, dragging the
men who were trying to hold him with him. She
was finally released from her perilous position and
taken home. AS far as can be ascertained the
young lady has received no internal injury nor
any fractures disocations, one of her limbs be-
ing badly twisted or sprained, however.
The Rev. H. N. Greninger, who labored so
arduously and indefatigably for the erection and
completion of the new Salem Evangelical Church
at this place. has been returned by the Conference
that held its session in Baltimore last week. This
is reward due the Rev. gentleman for his faith
full services.
The past has been very severe winter on the
old and young, but more especially the former, as
more old persons have died in this community in
the last few weeks than ever were known to die in
the same period before. Pneumonia seemed to be-
come almost epidemic among the aged of this Sec
ton and so deadly that its victims died in few
days.

Cut by an Unknown Man.-Mr. Harry
Welby, who lives with his grandfather, Mr.. Isaac
Hartman, on the Joppa road west of Towsontown,
had a very exciting adventure in Baltimore, one
night last week. He was going out Madison
avenue to spend the evening with some friends
and when passing an alley near the Boundary, a
colored man sprang upon him with an open knife
in his hand. Mr.. Welby was taken completely
by surprise but managed to grab his assailant by
the throat and dealt him a heavy blow with his
left hand, which knocked the fellow down, but
before he released his grip the knife had cut
terrible cash three fingers of his light hand
There was no officer near and as soon as the would
be assassin regained his feet he fed and Mr..
Weby proceeded to the residence of his uncle, Mr..
Russell George corner of Eutaw Place and Boun-
Diary avenue, where he tainted from the loss of
blood. He came home the next morning and the
wound was dressed by DR.. Harry S. Jarrett. 1t
is believed that the assaiant mistook Mr.. Welby
for another person for whom he was laying in
wait.
